Data Extraction Without Zyte

Extract structured search and product data without Zyte's complex platform. Scavio's simple API returns clean JSON with no spider configuration.

Zyte (formerly Scrapy Cloud) offers a full scraping platform with spider management, automatic extraction, and proxy rotation. But this power comes with complexity: you need to write spiders, manage deployments, and learn Zyte's specific toolchain. For teams that need search and product data, Scavio delivers the same output with a single API call.

The Problem with Zyte

Spider-based workflow requires writing and deploying custom code for each target site. Learning curve is steep for non-scraping engineers.

Automatic extraction (Zyte API) pricing starts at $0.001 per URL but climbs fast. Complex pages with multiple data points cost more.

Platform complexity. Scrapy Cloud, Zyte API, and Smart Proxy Manager are separate products with separate billing.

Deployment and monitoring overhead. Spiders need to be deployed, scheduled, and monitored for failures.

No native AI framework integrations. Connecting extracted data to LangChain or MCP requires custom pipeline code.

How Scavio Solves This

The Scavio Approach

Scavio eliminates the spider layer entirely. For search data (Google, YouTube, Reddit) and product data (Amazon, Walmart), you call a single API and get structured JSON. No spiders to write, no deployments to manage, no separate products to coordinate. Native LangChain and MCP integrations connect directly to AI agent workflows.

Code Example

Bash
curl -X POST https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/google \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "query": "sustainable packaging suppliers",
    "country": "us",
    "num_results": 15
  }'
